Ostatnio w moje ręce wpadło to cudo - "Lalka" B. Prusa po angielsku!

Otwierając książkę wita nas świetny wstęp. Zawiera on najważniejsze elementy biografii Prusa i zarysowuje okoliczności w których utwór został napisany, zaopatrzając obcokrajowców w niezbędny kontekst.

Muszę przyznać, że bardzo ciekawie czyta się tłumaczenie książki znając oryginał :)

I was thinking of Lalka in the middle of the night as one does and it came to my head that something absolutely unique about Wokulski as a main character in a 19th century novel is the fact that he straight up married an older woman for money as a young man which is a storyline usually reserved for women in literature (and then the narrative usually punishes them for it which ofc doesn’t happen to Wokulski, his misery comes from other places)

#admittedly i don’t remember that storyline very well as my rereading of lalka are mostly fragments of the end or wokulski’s mental breakdown #so correct me if i got something wrong #Oh lalka my beloved #kocham cię Prus za tą książkę #stanisław wokulski #izabela łęcka #julian ochocki #lalka #bolesław prus #lalka bolesław prus #polska literatura #polish literature #polish lit #the doll #the doll bolesław prus #polish culture #19th century literature #literature #tropes in literature #literatura #classic lit #positivistic literature #literature stuff #polish stuff #Ignacy Rzecki

I have just finished reading "Primeval and Other Times" by Olga Tokarczuk. Results? I am lying in fetal position, crying. I was too late to realize, that this book is about Time. Once I did, it was already too late.

It's a beautiful prose, full of light and God. But the theme? The theme is hear-wrenching. I was not ready, to feel it all.

They are used to whatever Jacob says being the truth. The truth is like a gnarled tree, made up of many layers that are twisted all around each other, some layers holding others inside them, and sometimes being held. The truth is something that can be expressed in many tales, for it is like that garden the sages entered, in which each of them saw something else.

Olga Tokarczuk, The Books of Jacob

It is at Dusk that the most interesting things occur, for that is when simple differences fade away. I could live in everlasting Dusk.

Olga Tokarczuk, from Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead (tr. from the Polish by Antonia Lloyd-Jones)
